If it wasn’t for the difficult dealings between the Zhu Family and Qin Family, the two families could have sought hegemony through joint efforts, leaving the rest of the famous families far behind. Yet every coin has its two sides. The case with the two families was actually an advantage for both of them because they didn’t need to take extra things into account when making decisions, at least, they wouldn’t become an impediment to each other.
Strictly speaking, there were actually two branches of the Zhu Family, one of which was led by the old lady, the other was led by Zhu Qingwen's husband. That explained why her children had all adopted the surname Zhu, rather than her husband had married into the bride's family.
Qin Changan was on top of the commercial world while Zhu Weiguo was in the army. And the real and authentic replacement for Old Master Zhu was Zhu Qingwen’s husband, who had been smashed all his way up for a promising future through ups and dow
Shanghai, a magical city.Since 1840, when China went into its modern times, Shanghai had been an attractive place for every Chinese people. From the cluster of the foreign-styled house to the Oriental Pearl Tower, a modern landmark, people could see Shanghai's confidence as the Chinese economic center from any angels. So the local government's change in management was interesting to people all over the nation.Qin Sheng watched TV, staring at the middle-aged man in the news, someone he was familiar with. The husband of his mother's younger sister. This man on TV was totally different from the kind and friendly man who cared for him often. "It was quite a piece of big news," Qin Sheng thought and frowned, "I didn't even notice the change at 'that' position in the city government."Qin Sheng had been really busy in the past few months and had no time to watch the news. He went to clean his mother's grave and stay there for the whole month to mou
If Qin Sheng didn't tell, Zhu Qingwen had no idea of the close relationship between Xue Qingyan and her nephew. And she didn't expect that Xue Qingyan had helped Qin Sheng so much for which she was grateful to Xue Qingyan. Since that Qin Sheng mentioned, she asked more details, and said if Qin Sheng had time after the Spring Festival holiday, they should meet up with Xue Qingyan, chatting away. He had not met Xue Qingyan for long time and it would be a surprise for Xue Qingyan.In fact, Zhu Qingwen and Xue Qingyan were not that familiar with each other. Xue Qingyan's brother and Zhu Qingwen's husband were both government officials first in Zhejiang Province and then were transferred to Shanghai. They had been colleagues for a long time and they joined in the same faction in the government, getting along well with each other. That was why Zhu Qingwen and Xue Qingyan had contact.They had met up for a few times in Hangzhou and became closer when they moved to
For what had happened in Hangzhou, Xue Qingyan was able to help Qin Sheng, but before she found the appropriate way, Qin Sheng's enemies had taken action and Qin Sheng had no choice but to escape from Hangzhou.Xue Qingyan had no idea of what happened that night until she received a message from Qin Sheng saying, "Sister, I gotta go. See ya." For one night only, a lot of people disappeared, Qin Sheng, Lin Su, Chang Baji, and Hao Lei...Xue Qingyan could imagine how dangerous the night was when Qin Sheng left. Yan Chaozong was impossible to let Qin Sheng leave easily and must have done something to stop him privately.And she received another message from Qin Sheng on the next day's afternoon. It was also short, "Am safe."Then she could never get in touch with him over the next two months. Was he still alive? She had been thinking about that, feeling sorrow and sighing.Xue Qingyan never expected that she could see Qin
At the moment, at a house in Haikou, an elderly man, with grey hair and wrinkled face, were making a phone call. He listened to the other side, from which the names of Qin Changan and Qin Sheng were mentioned many times. He looked pale for he didn't win after the years of fighting against the Qin Family.He really didn't?Several years ago, he had allied with some big shots against the Qin Family. They almost beat the Qin Family to the graveyard and paid the price for this fierce fight. Qin Sheng's mother, who was a beautiful young lady those days, died and his eldest uncle, who used to have promising future as a government official, chose to become a monk, his eldest aunt went to Canada, and his father, who was still young, almost gave himself up desperately, and even his grandfather, who had experienced quite a lot storms of life, was hit and left Beijing, taking Qin Sheng away.But things were different now. Qin Family had overcome all those
Fate is something that is a mystery within a mystery. For those who are not destined to be together, even if they pass by each other thousands of times, they would not pay any attention to each other. As for those who are destined to be together, even though they had just met each other for the first time, they would keep each other in mind forever. However, in reality, most people are not destined to be together. Even if they had accompanied each other for many years, they have no choice but to disappear into the crowd in the end without ever contacting or seeing each other again.Some people were connected by vicious fate, who had been entangled with each other continuously while hating and loving each other. The man with a low upbringing whom Qin Sheng had seen at this moment was a perfect example. If he had been Qin Sheng's friend, Qin Sheng might have sighed emotionally, saying that it was a small world. However, they were enemies instead of friends. Consequently,
The greatest understanding that Qin Sheng had gotten during this period was to cherish those who should be cherished, care about those who should be kept in mind, and let go of those who should be left in the past. After all, over these years, instead of saving time for those who cared about him sincerely, he had wasted too much time on those who were unimportant.Qin Sheng had too many complicated feelings for this woman, whom he had known for 14 years and who had accompanied him for six years. Though Su Qin had given him the best of her young days, had he ever given her anything?Back when he had been in middle school, he had known Su Qin, who had been smart, beautiful, and kind. When he was in high school, Su Qin had been his girlfriend, which had won him many admirations from everybody around him. After all, he had taken down the campus queen, whom most of his peers had a crush on in high school. At that time, Su Qin had been so outstanding that she had
As the saying goes, among 8,000 words in the world, the word "love" is the most distressing. It turns out that this saying is true. "Love" is the only word that is connected to affection, hate, separation, departure, and distress. No wonder that among all the poetry and prose from ancient history until now, those related to the depiction of love take up the majority.The song named "Goodbye" was for Su Qin, Qin Sheng, and the days of their youth that had passed by. After Qin Sheng finished this song, never would he visit YOUNG bar and interfere in Su Qin's life. After that, he would put the relationship history between him and Su Qin behind him completely. That was the reason why Qin Sheng had been so heartbroken as he had sung that last goodbye. It turned out he had not completely forgotten Su Qin.Qin Sheng and Su Qin had known each other for 14 years and had been in a relationship for six years. Many people probably would envy the kind of relationship li
It was the fifth day of the New Year today. If Lao Chang still did not show up, Qin Sheng would have no choice but to put up a Lost Man poster. He was afraid that this man might have died somewhere in this vast country and nobody had dealt with his deceased body.Qin Sheng's concern was quite justifiable. When it came to traveling, others preferred visiting prosperous cities or going abroad for vacation. However, on the contrary, Lao Chang liked to go to the remote forests and mountains, intending to look for those secluded masters. When he was happy, he probably would learn from them by exchanging a few tricks with them. In that case, if he came across someone merciless and met with a mishap, nobody would be informed.After the call went through, Qin Sheng said excitedly, "Holy God. Lao Chang, you f**king came back to life at last. I almost intended to worship you with some paper money." As Qin Ran heard what Qin Sheng had said over the phone, she was star
